Harper's Young People
AN ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY.

Harper's Young People has been called
"the model OF what periodical for young
readers ought to be" and the justice of
this commentator is amply sustained By
the large circulation it has attained both
at home and in Great Britain. This sue
cess has been reached by methods that
must commend themselves TO the judg-
menJ of parents, no less than to the tastes
OF children-namely, by an earnest and
well sustained effort to provide the best
and most attractive reading for young
people at low price. The illustrations
are copous and of cOnspicuously high
standard Of excellence.
